Editorial Reviews :
Nashville's loss is Kim Richey's gain. Though she has written chart-topping hits for Radney Foster and Trisha Yearwood and pursued a recording career on the fringes of the country mainstream, her fourth and best album sounds like a fresh start. It certainly doesn't sound like contemporary country, as the artist and producer Bill Bottrell (who helmed similarly creative breakthroughs by Sheryl Crow and Shelby Lynne) collaborate on a sensually bluesy song cycle that shows a determination to defy categorization, follow its own musical dictates, and find its own audience. The album-opening 'Girl in a Car' sounds like it could have been a highlight for Lucinda Williams, while the languid atmospherics of 'Fading,' 'Without You,' and 'Reel Me In' have a seductive intimacy that is equal parts torch song and lullaby. From the Wurlitzer organ on 'The Circus Song' to the bouzouki that lends an Eastern tinge to 'This Love' and 'Electric Green' (the latter written and sung with Pete Droge), the stripped-down arrangements accent the freshness of the material.
Buyer Reviews :
Being a major fan of Kim Richey and of all her previous three releases KIM RICHEY, BITTERSWEET and GLIMMER respectively, I could not wait for her new release. What a massive dissapointment. I agree with one review that said NO JUDGES is the only standout track on the cd. I agree completely!!! The rest of the album almost put me to sleep......I was planning my grocery list, etc while listening to it..usually she captivates me, this cd is junk....her voice is incredible but the songs are sorry to say, trash.....Bill Bottrell did a huge disservice to her....I hope next time Kim goes back to doing it all on her own! That is where she 'RISES'.....better luck next time!
